Prayer

Tuning our whole lives toward the One in whom we live and move and have our being. Standing under the umbrella of ancient liturgies that have been prayed across the centuries.

​

​

Nature

The earth declares the glory of God. Even the stones will cry out. 

​

​

​

​

​

Art

The rhythm of poetry. The creative synthesis of making, creating, living, embodying mystery. Taste and see, hear and know the Lord is near.

​

​

​

Theology

The ancient attentiveness to naming God in burning bush and the Word becoming a wordless child. The yearning for naming God in ways rooted in lived experience. The perpetual hope to name the presence of God.

To those I love, to those who have been on this journey since before the waters of baptism: You have been with me in the timeless echo of God’s presence hovering over the water. For skipping Petoskey stones off Lake Michigan, or endless hours of creek stomping at Rock Creek, Sugar Creek, Briar Creek and beyond. For one more walk around the Flowing Well or Montrose Harbor. For liminal journeys under an easy yoke across Lake Sawbill, Seagull and Saginaw. For the sacred work of stacking cinder-blocks or digging holes or moving debris at Edisto or Back Bay or All Saints or Sumpango or Denham Town. For one more theological quandary to ponder, one more pastoral emergency to debrief, one more calling to reaffirm. Thank you.

 

May God meet you at water's edge, from now until forever from now.
